The Brag Basket is still here

By Small Biz Survival

Even though I call this the Brag Basket, it’s not really about bragging. It’s about sharing. I started this so you can introduce yourself, share some good news, or congratulate a friend.

The basket is open all weekend, from December 3-5, 2010. Since we’re wrapping up 2010, let’s start sharing year-long accomplishments. What are you most proud of this year? How different are things than where you began?

Speak up and add yourself or another deserving soul in the comments. We all cheer, and everyone feels great. It lets you meet each other a bit. Reading each others’ stories brings us a bit closer to being a community.

How does it work? You write a comment on this post, email me, tweet me, or comment on Facebook. You tell something great about your week, or you give applause to someone who did good stuff this week. Or you celebrate something wonderful that you tried that failed.

This is not an ad. (I delete the ads.) It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

    Hi Becky,

    The concept of a brag basket is great specially in these times all of us need to hear the good and happy events happening in our community.

    I am happy because we have NPR and PBS two things that are really a great resource for all age groups.

    Happy for all the libraries in the US albeit in my opinion underfunded and underutilized.

    Happy that I am going to take a family vacation in Austin during the year end.

    Also happy because my friend Munish Gandhi of http://hy.ly launched an easy to use tool to build a welcome tab for your Facebook page. You should try it.

    Happy that more and more people are joining the Network Solutions Facebook page http://on.fb.me/netsolfb and having a conversation.

    Also happy for all my friends and colleagues who inspire me including you Becky.

    Shashi
